name: Pocket Network
description: Pocket Network is a decentralized, permissionless RPC infrastructure network providing free public API access to 60+ blockchain chains including Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon, Solana, and other EVM-compatible and non-EVM networks. The Shannon upgrade (June 2025) made Pocket the first open, permissionless API network where anyone can stake POKT tokens to deploy gateways and supply nodes without centralized approval.
